Uhurrmmm......if you don't mind, ano ba yung name na papalitan?

[jonski]

Ganda siguro pag "secret" ang name ko. Pag tinanong ako kung ano pangalan ko ay sasabihin kung... "Secret."

what I know is it's gonna be a long process, mag file ka pa sa court of something

Well, there are 2 ways.

The Gunigundo Law (RA no. 9048) allows a person to change his 1st name by applying with the Local Civil Registrar and submitting the required documents, paying the fees and complying with the publication of notices. Note that any changes in the entry to the Certificate of Birth of the applicant is limited to the change in 1st name, or correction of clerical errors.

The other way is to go to the RTC and file a petition for change of name under Rule 103 of the Rules of Court. The rules here are more stringent and the petitioner should give sufficient proof and reasonable cause before the RTC can favorably grant the petition.

*chua, it's not me, a friend of mine wants to drop his surname and use her mother's kasi she doesn't want to carry her father's name. . .he left them when she was still little. . .sorry, can't divulge the name

^^ Kala ko kasi Bro, it's just a simple case of changing a name, for the reason na medyo weird sounding yung pangalan.

[sean-archer]

ako, i corrected my name, typo error kase. One letter lang, it costs me 4K and a road trip from where i was born. If surname, mas complicated yata, kase may family law issues.

Buti na nga lang kung ganoon. Akala ko, another case that is similar to Bb.GandangHari.....

This is just thinking aloud and somebody please share your expert opinion. Will this action forfeit the child's right to her father's heirloom?

Err, if you're referring to the child's right to inherit from the father (succession), the answer is NO.

A change in name of the child does not change the fact that he is the son of his father (whether legitimate or illegitimate).

Depende... sa batas kasi ay 1st name lang ang allowed na mapalitan. Kunwari e mabantot ang dating ng 1st name, like Floskulo, pwedeng papalitan sa mas katanggap-tanggap, like Flosky.

Pwede rin kung ang whole name ang papalitan due to clerical error like Barako Bama to Barak Obama.

Lawyer's fee varies from 5k to 15k. Plus, court appearance will be required. The length of the procedure will depend on the number of cases catered by the court. Mas OK pag dun ka sa kakilala mong lawyer.

Ewan ko kung pano ung sa kaso ni Rustom Padilla... Bebeng Gandanghari?

[mey0r]

Showbiz alias ata lang ginawa nya, legally HE's still Rustom.

He he he... Mabuti naman kung ganun. Kung nagkataong naging legal name si Bebeng Gandanghari ay siguradong maraming magsusunuran. Chaos!!!
